I did, from Silverlake. I’ve been seeing these periodically throughout the week. If it’s marketing, it’s dumb, because I couldn’t figure out what the hell it meant any of those times. I figured someone was shooting a TV commercial or something.
Right you are – a new design for universal glasses – very cool.
I have an early prototype of another approach on display in my office:
These are user-adjustable eyeglasses from Adaptive Eyecare, a U.K. based company seeking to provide inexpensive vision correction for the billion people that need still it (according to World Health Organization estimates).
Using elastic mylar lenses filled with a highly refractive silicone oil, they created $5 glasses that the user can adjust for each eye, without an optometrist or expensive lens grinding infrastructure. One product fits all, and can even be shared.
